Empty streets, and boarded windows Flickering lights, no sign of life Where's everyone gone, stuck at alone at home No we've got time, its only midnight And when the city goes dark I lie awake, thinkin' bout you (thinkin' bout you) So I wander the streets Sleep I think I forgot how to (I think I forgot how to) I come alive in the nighttime I'm afraid of the daylight I've got a nocturnal mind In the dark is where I shine In the dark is where I shine I walk for hours, like I know where I'm headed Can't look worried, can't look weak I'm up-in-arms, always at the ready Fighting the urge to let you save me So I wander the streets Sleep I think I forgot how to (I think I forgot how to) I come alive in the nighttime Afraid of the daylight I've got a nocturnal mind And In the dark is where I shine In the dark is where I shine
